Satellite receiver usually means a thingy for receiving satellite TV. Receiver means that it only receives signals but cannot transmit any.
I assume that these are internet enabled. Maybe just for updates, or maybe to also do streaming. So, I take it to mean that they do the normal internet DDOS thing on the side, in a way that has nothing to do with satellites.
